2007 St. Jorge Winery Tempranillo

This elegant wine can be summarized as cloves and roses. A smooth, jello-like texture holds together layers of cherry, roses and cloves with well-integrated oak giving off aromas of the same along with bark, fig, plums, earth and a little Dr. Pepper. Sourced from Bokisch Vineyards.

2007 Borra 47.5 Degrees

Alluring black fruits, molasses, anisette, and oak resonating with dark-roasted vanilla bean provide the welcome to this eclectic blend of the best red Rhône varietals of Lodi: Syrah, Petite Sirah and Mourvèdre. Deep, dark and brawny like a concentrated, complex reduction sauce of dark chocolate, plums and figs, with expensive German black licorice lingering on the finish. Feast on a slow-grilled choice seared New York steak, lightly brushed with A.1. 96 cases. (These are my messaged notes for the winery.)

2008 Van Ruiten Zinfandel Old Vine Lodi

A very satisfying assortment of gobs of creamy vanilla, jammy blueberry and cherry pie baking over an open fire of resinous wood with some dried fig and black olives thrown in. This is a delicious and decadent fruit bomb with a nice balance of flavors introduced by a cascade of 15.5% alcohol legs kicking down the glass. Despite the combustible fuel, the wine is smooth without the expected burn. There is some almost overdone sweetness on the finish along with cherry and orange peel, but all in all, this wine goes down easily. We tasted it close to bottling and it would benefit from a bit of complexing age.
